About the Artwork:
Amber Lauder states this about her creative process, "The majority of my work combines the beauty of the natural world with the whimsy of experimental film techniques. The experimental method used in these photos is called film soup. My favorite way to describe film soup is “messing up my film to make the photos even more beautiful than they would have been had I not souped them. A mouthful, but an accurate description. I shoot a roll of film, drop it in a mason jar and fill the jar with boiling water and other household ingredients, all with the film canister still in the jar. After agitating the film periodically and letting it sit for around 12 hours, I rinse it for 2-5 minutes, put the film on a sunny windowsill and let it dry for two weeks before sending it off to a film lab that accepts film soup. The results are pure magic. Sometimes, the ingredients used in the film soup overtake frames completely, which can create beautiful, painterly scenes of color."
